Waffles?

[ACORN]

My wife’s birthday is today so being the hopeless romantic I am, bought her a waffle maker. Now before you laugh, she said she’d like one, and the AirPods we are also giving her are sold out. So until they’re in she gets the waffle maker.
Anyone have a kick arse recipe or know of a packaged brand that’s exceptional?

We used to make homemade. The trick is to separate the eggs and whisk in the egg whites, MAKE THE BATTER THE NIGHT BEFORE
Recipes that have yeast are the best ever. But I always forget to do it the night before.


We now use Krusteaz Buttermilk for pancakes and Waffles, very good and saves all the work!!

Krusteaz is a great pancake mix, but they make a dedicated waffle mix.

Edit: For reference, I snapped these photos of the pros cooking at the Chez Albert waffle shop in Brussels Belgium. They were delicious, but I was surprised at the very thick dollops of dough they scooped onto the hot plate. No pour-able pancake mix consistency here.

The young woman is wielding a wet vac to clean the hot plate.

Here's my waffle recipe.........

Sift together and set aside:

1 ½ cups of flour

3 teaspoons of baking powder

2 teaspoons of sugar

½ teaspoon salt


Put in a bowl:

2 eggs - beat well


add 1 cup of milk and

3 tablespoons melted butter


add the flour mixture and beat with a rotary or electric beater. The batter need not be perfectly smooth. If it is thicker than heavy cream add more milk. Thin batter makes tender waffles.


Under-cook any leftover batter a little bit and freeze the extra waffles. Reheat in toaster.

I don't know anything about waffles , but I will say this . I've been married going on 36 years . It was Valentines Day not long after we married . I asked her " What do you want ?" She said nothing and that's what she got . I still hear about it . You can't always go by what she says .

Rule 1: Don't buy anything for her that plugs into an electrical outlet.

my waffle recipe is just a modification to the Bisquick standard... to that add 2/3 cup more Bisquick good shake of cinnamon... 1 tea vanilla, dash of almond extract, 1 Tsp sugar, 1 tea flavored coffee creamer (vanilla, caramel Irish cream...), 1 big Tsp miracle whip or mayonnaise and 7-up, club soda or ginger ale to thin it back down... they are not light & fluffy... moist, rich and delicious...

in general I never measure when I make these... they are waffles... just play... use eggnog & nutmeg for the holidays...

Eggos and a toaster.

My recipe:

Open package of Eggo.

Put in toaster. Leave until crispy.

Then smother with
syrup (the cheap kind),
fruit, whipped cream.

Serve to kids. Return same
to parents while same
bounces around walls from
sugar high.

That's being a good
grandpappy

I was always told that anything that had a cord attached was not a "present".

See, toasting Eggos is not the full-grandude (which is my self-chosen grandparental moniker) experience. You've got to get the kids in there, get the bowls out, find all the ingredients, let them help measure and mix. Then cook and eat. It's about the process. Do you think they'll remember you dropping an Eggo in a toaster when they're grown? I don't think so. Eggos just don't cut it. Don't be that Grandguy.

Though I admit I am more well known for my scratch whole-wheat pancakes. Which are a bit safer since they don't involve any kitchen power tools.

Yes, my grandkids really do call me Grandude. The less verbal one just "Doooood".
